Our Mission

History & Details

The Women's Wellness Center of Wantagh was founded in 1994 by Dr. Bernard Pollock, M.D., a board certified obstetrician and gynecologist with his own private OB/GYN practice since 1963.  Dr. Pollock's concept behind the Wellness Center was to provide women with total healthcare at one location.

The Wellness Center wants to help women optimize their well-being by offering such medical services as Bone Density studies of the hip and spine.  Our facility is equipped with a state-of-the art Norland Eclipse DEXA bone densitometry unit which provides results in just 15 minutes.  Dr. Pollock personally oversees this painless examination and provides each patient with a thorough discussion of any therapeutic considerations.

In addition to traditional medical services, the Wellness Center provides a full array of diverse programs including massage therapy, and acupuncture.  Our professional staff members are each board certified in their various techniques and specialties.

Incontinence Therapy  (ExtraCorporeal Magnetic Innervation)

You cough.  Laugh too hard.  Or walk too far.  And then it hits you.  The loss of bladder control.  If you are experiencing the lack of bladder control, you're not alone.  Millions of women suffer from urinary incontinence.  

We are excited to now offer NeoControl®, the latest breakthrough in incontinence treatment.  NeoControl® produces highly focused pulsing magnetic fields that pass into the pelvic floor area and cause the muscles to contract.  You sit fully clothed in a comfortable chair for treatment.  It's completely non-invasive.  There are no drugs, no surgery and no pain.

A new hi-tech, non-invasive, non-surgical therapy for stress, urge or mixed incontinence is now being offered at the Women's Wellness Center of Wantagh.  No medication is necessary, and the procedure is painless.

The procedure involves sitting in a specially designed "Chair" for twenty minutes, twice a week for eight weeks.  The pelvic floor muscles are thereby toned and strengthened.  At the end of eight weeks, these muscles can now perform their intended function:  Namely, improving urination and eliminating stress incontinence.

The "Chair" stimulates the muscles.  There are only two such modalities on Long Island -- one is located at the Wantagh Women's Wellness Center.

NeoTone MagneticTherapy 

Using technology created by the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Emory School of Medicine, Neotone therapy is a complete rehabilitative therapy system that conveniently treats a wide range of muscle-related problems and injuries. The treatment is based on the fundamentals of magnetic induction.  By using a therapeutic, pulsed magnetic field to penetrate the body, streams of neural impulses are triggered which target the nerve and muscle groups.  These pulses do not cause pain and are comfortable for both the aged as well as recently injured persons.  It does not require electrodes, probes, creams or gels.  The treatment works through clothing, braces, padding, casting materials and bone.

This procedure has been approved by the F.D.A. for treatment of the following conditions:

  • Bulk muscle excitation 
  • Relaxation of muscle spasms
  • Maintaining or increasing range of motion
  • Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
  • Muscle re-education
  • Increasing local blood circulation
  • Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
